    Grandaddy's Moogy, moody music still sounds like ELO as HAL-9000. [Oct 2005, p.137]
  2. A rare EP that feels more like a full-length release with the filler trimmed. [#11, p.117]
  3. 60
    A vehement kiss-off to California's Central Valley. [Nov 2005, p.136]

    I really enjoyed this little treat from one of my favorite bands. A great teaser for a new album early next year. I will admit that they really don't uncover any new territory here, they may even step back a little, but that only makes me remember why I fell in love with Grandaddy in the first place. Expand

    i like this a lot because it harkens back to their "under the western freeway" days. i am glad they got rid of some of the polish.

    Really easy!, Like a friendly ballad with two Rock songs. But it is one of my favorites bands.
